Hello community!

I'm updating my Gentoo system with this command:
sudo emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world

then the following error occurs:

By the way, I did update Gentoo on another PC at the same time, and everything works well. But on my laptop, it can't work, and "* (no error message)", so I know not how to solve it. Hope anyone can help me.

Thanks

I get the same on my 64-bit system. -j1 and reemerging gcc/emerge doesn't help.

[cradlinski]

I had this same problem earlier today. I just resync'd and now it's compiling successfully.
